The Port of Corpus Christi volumes in 2025, declined marginally by 1.5% to 203.4 million tonnes compared to 206.5 million tonnes in 2024. Last year, LNG exports grew by 15.4% to 18.6 million tonnes, but crude oil shipments decreased 2.3% over 2024 to 127.4 million tonnes, while dry bulk and agricultural goods decreased 2.5% and 54% respectively. US agricultural exports were hard hit by the tariff war with China.In 2025, the Port marked the completion of the historic Corpus Christi Ship Channel Improvement Project (CIP). The unprecedented four-phase CIP was conceived more than three decades ago as a massive undertaking to enhance navigational infrastructure – ultimately deepening the ship channel from 14.32m to 16.45m (Mean Lower Low Water) and widening it from 121.9 metres to 161.5 metres with additional barge shelves – to accommodate the growing demand for larger vessels needed by port customers.The Port remains committed to investing in infrastructure upgrades as it maintains its critical role as the non-federal sponsor of the CIP.Since 2015, the Port of Corpus Christi, the leading US energy export gateway and major economic engine of Texas and the US, has invested $1 billion in capital projects, strengthening regional infrastructure and positioning the Port for continued growth and global competitiveness.
